Subject: Replacing groups of methods: How would *you* do this?

Question for you.

There is more than one way to do what 
I am wanting to do. Probably the "right"
way is one I haven't thought of yet.

Suppose I have a class where I consider
a number of methods "pluggable" or
"disposable." (If you're curious, these are
UI-oriented; I'm writing an app with alternate
user interfaces.)

At first I thought: I'll make a module with the
methods in it, then include it at runtime if/when
I choose to.

But then I realized that module instance methods
don't replace class instance methods. Hmm.

So I thought: I can write replacement methods
in the same class and put them in separate
files which I then include.

But I don't really want to use separate files.

What do you think?
